Hi Townsend 76,

You might be wise to remove the names of any possible LIVING relatives as it is against Rootschat Policy.

If he was your uncle, you will know his parents' names.
Who were they please?
Perhaps also you know what the initial P in his name stood for?

There was a funeral notice in The Advertiser for a Doris Irene WOODS on 30 Aug 2006. 

This appears to be her death notice

WOODS   Doris Irene   
29 Aug 2006 90 years at Ceduna   
Published in the Adelaide Advertiser   30 Aug 2006

Is it possible that another death notice was placed on 4 Sep 2006 using a 'pet' name.
